Editing an Audio Clip or Audio File by Double-Clicking You can open an audio clip in the Waveform Editor by double-clicking the clip in the Timeline, and you can open an audio file by double-clicking it in the Browser. When you open an audio clip or audio file by double-clicking, a Double-Click Preference dialog appears asking if you want to create an audio file project or edit the original audio file. Creating an audio file project from the clip or file lets you edit it nondestructively, while editing the original audio file means that when you save your changes, you overwrite (replace) the original file with the edited one. If you select the "Create an audio file project" button, a Save dialog appears in which you can name the project and choose a location to save it. When you select either the "Create an audio file project" or the "Edit original audio file" button in the Double-Click Preference dialog, your selection is saved as a preference. You can stop the dialog from appearing when you double-click an audio clip or audio file by selecting the "Don't show this alert again" checkbox. Once you select this checkbox, double-clicking performs the operation you have set as the preference, and Option­double-clicking performs the other operation. You can still change the double-click preference in the General pane of Soundtrack Pro Preferences. You can also open an audio clip in the Waveform Editor as an audio file project for nondestructive editing by selecting the clip and choosing Clip > Open as Project or by Control-clicking the clip and choosing Open as Project from the shortcut menu. Or, you can edit the original audio file by selecting the clip and choosing Clip > Open in Editor or by Control-clicking the clip and choosing Open in Editor from the shortcut menu. Saving QuickTime Movies Can Result in Larger File Sizes When you lengthen or shorten the duration of a QuickTime movie in the Waveform Editor by adding or deleting audio, the file size of the movie might become larger than expected when you save the movie. For example, if you shorten the duration of the movie by deleting audio, the file size of the movie does not decrease. When you change the sample rate, bit depth, or number of channels in a QuickTime movie, the file size of the saved movie might be larger than expected. Also, when saving to a QuickTime movie that uses a compressed audio format, the audio is saved uncompressed and the file size might be larger than expected. In all of the above cases, saving the movie to a different location results in the file being saved at the correct file size. 8 Using the Stretch Tool Can Change the File's Length When you shorten a selection of an audio file using the Stretch tool in the Waveform Editor, the empty part of the selection area is filled with ambient noise if an ambient noise print exists. If no ambient noise print exists, the empty part of the selection area is filled with silence. Shortening a selection using the Stretch tool does not change the length of the audio file. When you lengthen the selection using the Stretch tool, any audio overlapped by the lengthened selection area is deleted. Lengthening the selection past the end of the file changes the length of the audio file. [. . . ] The clip is split into three segments, defined by the beginning and end of the selection. Narrowing Analysis Selection to Only Problem Samples When you select an item in the Analysis Results list of the Waveform Editor, by default the region shown in red in the waveform display includes some extra time before the first sample with the problem and some extra time after the last sample with the problem. This extra time is included so that when you play or loop the problem area, you can hear the problem in context. You can narrow the problem area to include only the samples identified as having the problem, with no extra time. To narrow the problem area to include only problem samples: m Option-click the item in the Analysis Results list. 11 Automator Actions for Soundtrack Pro If you have Mac OS X v10. 4 or later, Soundtrack Pro includes Automator actions for use with the Automator application.
